How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked over the admissions viewbook and website. Reviewed my application and previous feedback on SDN.

What impressed you positively?

Amazing facilities at Temple (S&W, VA, etc.). The students and staff are genuinely interested in getting to know you and make you feel welcome. Lots and lots of food. Filo RULES - get to know him well.

What impressed you negatively?

The drive to Temple, long and tiring day (7am-5:30pm)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That it is really a get-to-know-you type of experience. No need to prepare for the interview other than to be yourself at all times. Your interviewers will be able to sniff out BS. Also, prepare questions in advance that you have for your interviewer.

What are your general comments?

I absolutely enjoyed my interview day at Texas A&M. It starts off at 7am in College Station where you have breakfast and are greeted by Filo and his presentation. The M1/M2 panel was informative as was the financial aid briefing. My interviews were with an M2 and a physician in Temple. They both were VERY conversational and not stressful at all. I got the sense that the students and faculty share an almost familial relationship. Everyone knows each others names and care about each other. Overall the day was very long and tiring. And it was HOT - especially with a suit on. Be prepared to walk a lot on tours and also to and from your interview room. The food was grand - like a banquet.
